@mlaks: "Hi,
For doing many off line installs of Debian,  I have set up a mirror for debian 
i386, using the anonftpsync script.
this script -
described on the debian mirror pages 
specifically excludes architectures 
( a newer idea it seems -   now present in the  newer version on the web 
site   )
or excludes particular "patterns" that anonftp rsync will exclude.
I set this up a while ago. I never excluded amd64, cause it didn't exist.  
I actually want to get the amd64 version now to try it out.
I understand that  amd64 has been "mainstreamed" since the release of sarge.
However does this mean that  it is already present on standard mirrors like 
ftp.us.debian.org?  
I did a fresh amd64 etch install and it  is using csail.debian.mit.edu.
Is amd64 wilsoneric@example.net.  How can I tell?
Do I have to mirror directly from csail.debian.mit.edu? How to do that?
How can I tell if I have already mirrored it from ftp.us.debian.org 
 :) (dumb sounding question i know).
Thanks
MItchell

Did you try it out?
Look at <url>  Currently it says 94%
of packages are up-to-date.  This of course does not and will never
contain Sarge for amd64.
You only have to if you want Sarge.  Read
<url>
Check for existence of dists/testing/main/binary-amd64/ and
*_amd64.deb files.  Or as a trivial way try to apt-get from your
mirror.
